Someone please make a Bluetooth equivalent for smart devices. My thermostat doesn't need internet access but standardized wireless control is still a good feature

Zigbee or z-wave for example?

ZigBee

I have multiple smart plugs in my house that monitor energy usage for various devices. I have them set up on Home Assistant via ZigBee. All completely local, works without internet.
